ZULFIQAR HASAN24

Objectives of Financial ManagementObjectives of Financial Management may be broadly divided into two

parts such as:1. Profit Maximization: Main aim of any kind of economic activity is

earning profit. A business concern is also functioning mainly for the purpose of earning profit. Profit is the measuring techniques to understand the business efficiency of the concern. Profit maximization is also the traditional and narrow approach, which aims at, maximizes the profit of the concern firm. Profit maximization is also called as earnings per share maximization. It leads to maximize the business operation for profit maximization.

2. Wealth Maximization: Wealth maximization is one of the modern approaches, which involves latest innovations and improvements in the field of the business concern. The term wealth means shareholder wealth or the wealth of the persons those who are involved in the business concern. Wealth maximization is also known as value maximization or net present worth maximization that means maximization of the market price of share.

ZULFIQAR HASAN25

Criticism against Profit Maximization1. It is vague: In this objective, profit is not defined precisely or

correctly. It creates some unnecessary opinion regarding earning habits of the business concern.

2. It ignores the time value of money: Profit maximization does not consider the time value of money or the net present value of the cash inflow. It leads certain differences between the actual cash inflow and net present cash flow during a particular period.

3. It ignores risk: Profit maximization does not consider risk of the business concern. Risks may be internal or external which will affect the overall operation of the business concern.

4. Profit maximization leads to exploiting workers and consumers.5. Profit maximization creates immoral practices such as corrupt

practice, unfair trade practice, etc.6. Profit maximization objectives leads to inequalities among the

sake holders such as customers, suppliers, public shareholders, etc.

ZULFIQAR HASAN26

Favorable Arguments for Wealth Maximization1. The primary financial goal is shareholder wealth

maximization, which translates to Direct benefit to shareholders as stock price increases

2. Societal benefits as businesses compete to create wealth3. Includes effects of all financial decisions4. Wealth maximization is superior to the profit maximization

because the main aim of the business concern under this concept is to improve the value or wealth of the shareholders.

5. Wealth maximization considers the comparison of the value to cost associated with the business concern. Total value detected from the total cost incurred for the business operation. It provides extract value of the business concern.

6. Wealth maximization considers both time and risk of the business concern.

7. Wealth maximization provides efficient allocation of resources.

8. It ensures the economic interest of the society.

ZULFIQAR HASAN27

Is stock price maximization the same as profit maximization?

• No, despite a generally high correlation amongst stock price, EPS, and cash flow.

• Current stock price relies upon current earnings, as well as future earnings and cash flow.

• Some actions may cause an increase in earnings, yet cause the stock price to decrease (and vice versa).

ZULFIQAR HASAN28

Agency Problems

• The agency problem suggest a possibility of conflict of interests between these two parties. Agency problem is the likelihood that managers may place personal goals ahead of corporate goals. The agency theory was Developed by Jensen and Meckling, 1976
